-First of all, it's great to be back outdoors! Racing was perfect for the season opener.
-Hangtown was rough, exactly how an outdoor track should be.
-Blake Baggett is just unreal. If he can be consistent this yea r, he will be very hard to beat. But that's a big "if" because he's never been good at being consistent.
-I may be wrong, but Roczen seems like he's getting tired or arm pump late in the race. I don't know if its nerves or the AMA style sprinting from start to finish. He looks exhausted and out of breath at the end of the motos.
-I was really impresses with Barcia. We all knew he would get good starts but he ran the pace the entire moto. Guess MXMatti has to change his signature
-No need to mention Stewart since there will be 500 threads, but what impressed me was how good his bike looked. His and Metcalf's bikes looked like they soaked up the chop well. Dungey on the other hand looked like he was on a rough ride. New team, new bike though, so it may take some races to find the settings.
What were your thoughts?

Def think he is going to get better as the season goes on. But I dont think him or Roczen have anything for Baggett.
I really was impressed with the track and how well it was through out the entire day. And it was super rough. Some of those braking bumps were midget size! Dirt Diggers did a great job for sure.
